Review for Dr. Pungoti

I have gone to Dr. Wang for years, many years. He is highly educated and capable. I totally trust him with my horribly sun damaged skin from days long ago when we did not wear sunscreen, hats nor sunglasses. I lived in California and Thailand. A very intelligent doctor.

My experience with Dr. Jacobs was not a good one. He was unfriendly and did not find him helpful
